Over the last two decades, scientific articles on schizophrenia have doubled in number, and prophecies of breakthrough have appeared and receded. The result is a scattered and confusing mass of evidence that is difficult to evaluate. How much progress has really been made? Are the neurological causes of madness truly in sight? This book evaluates the progress of schizophrenia science by summarizing what is known about how patients with the illness differ from healthy people. The tools of meta-analysis are first explained and then employed to make the strength and consistency of these differences explicit. Beginning with the study of symptoms, then moving through the search for objective disease markers, findings on the cognitive functions, structure, physiology, chemistry, and development of the brain, this book is a journey into the enigma of madness and its science. What emerges is an illness that reveals itself most strongly in thought processes, not biology. As evidence actually be
Editorial : "This book by Heinrichs is one of the most scholarly treatises by a single author that I have read in the past decade. What makes it unique is that it is written by a research neuropsychologist and that it attempts to integrate a vast array of clinical and research findings regarding the etiology and pathophysiology of schizophrenia This book will be a treat for schizophrenia researchers in particular and clinical neuroscience researchers in general. It will serve as an excellent reference for students and trainees in psychiatry, psychology, neurology, and cognitive science. Although intensely evidence based, the book is highly readable and unfolds its content in an intellectually pleasing, systematic approach. For those in search of a coherent and comprehensive understanding of the major modern themes of schizophrenia research, this is a highly worthwhile book to own and to refer to repeatedly." -- Journal of Clinical Psychiatry

Gelernter's book in the public library as I was researching a project. I recommend it to my students as a quick introduction to Wlans. It starts out basic with you getting familiar with your 'needs' and familiarizing yourself with your depression and then it gets more in depth as far as the excersises go the further you go in the book.
I am in no way saying this is a cure for depression or for whatever it is that you're going through but, it is a tremendous help! People saw a huge change in me. A person's life can be destroyed by depression much in the way it can be destroyed by chemical/substance abuse.
For individuals with mild to moderate depression, this resource can lessen the suffering of depression. Since a close friend's daughter developed late-onset autism, I've been reading everything ab
